俚语 nickel-dimer
释义

Nickel-Dimer

A person who must give you the smallest, waste-of-time, and meaningless task at work in order to show others( upper management) their "usefulness" on a daily basis(which mainly consists of hearing their own voice). This "task" takes no breaks, and therefore sometimes you are "asked" to do things on your break, lunch, and if they could get away with it, your day off.
Co-worker #1: "What the fuck are you doing back, didn't you go out to lunch today?"
Co-worker #2: "Yeah, but fuck me, I came back early and I got 'asked' by the Nickel-Dimer to follow up on an inquiry."
Co-worker #1: "Really? Haven't you learned to take really long lunches? You both are assholes!"
